Mmmm, @BlueBells. Just to clarify re the photosynthetic process and the shroud. I was thinking that the fresh fabric may have still had an element of plant life contained in it, and as the door of the sepulchre opened, taking the interior from darkness to light, it may have exposed the shroud to a photosynthetic photograph. If they whisked his body away under cover of darkess, that would blow my theory out of the water. Anyway, that is my musing. I'm not interested in it either, but it was something I had to consider as I weighed up religious belief. 

As for the supernatural/metaphysical, we only grasp what we have experienced. I have experienced telepathy and precognisance of significant global events, jointly with my ex-psy. I know it's not hocus pocus; it's a scientific reality. As for spirits, I have never had such an experience. Do I believe? I believe in an unseen, shared consciousness but I would need to know how each person defines 'spirits'. Something seen, felt, sensed? How each person understands our shared consciousness would shape how they express 'spirits'. I personally find the concept of angels difficult to believe. Angels link to religion and may be interpreted through a religious lens.
